Francois Matthee

With over 20 years of progressive experience in production management, logistics, and supply chain operations—most recently as a Plant Supervisor overseeing multiple manufacturing plants at Henkel S.A—I have developed the technical expertise, leadership capability, and continuous‑improvement mindset required to add immediate value in a high‑performance environment.

My career has been built on driving efficiency, improving product quality, and leading diverse operational teams through demanding production cycles. I have a strong background in LEAN manufacturing, safety compliance, SAP system utilization, and complex problem‑solving methodologies including A3, RCA, CAPA, 8D, and FRPS. My leadership style focuses on developing people, ensuring process discipline, and creating a culture where performance and safety standards are consistently met.
